My rhyme ain't good just yet
my brain and tongue just met
and they ain't friends so far
my words don't travel far
they tangle in my hair
and tend to go no where
they go right back inside
right past my brain and eyes
into my stomach juice
where they don't serve much use
all melted calories
nurtrition values.
And I absorb back in
the words right through my skin.- Regina Spektor.

A complete dedication to the charming, Caitlin O'Rourke.


Regina Spektor,
is simply amazing.
Have a listen-
"Blue Lips"- Thanks to Caitlin, i am officially hooked.


Anyways, I'm really well haven't blogged for ages, but then again i always say that don't i? haha.
These holidays will be filled with Random acts of creativity, all in the name of fun.
You all know you don't have enough of it....
Keep smiling all, i know you want to!

Finally the suns out,
the flowers are blooming and i feel like me again. No more hiding under scarfs and huge jumpers.
The high waisted shorts and flowery dresses are out.

Have an amazing week everyone.

Hugs!

Love it,
i want to grow old but stay young.

My god, my last blog was so long ago i guess the excitement of having a blog washed off after a while and I'm sure school played a large part in not allowing me to have time to do anything remotely fun.
I probably wont be writing very frequently for a while, i have so many assignments but today is one of my first weekends with no one to see which is great lol I guess we all complain a lot about having so much to do, but at least we have the chance to go to school right?

I just wanted to show you all a picture, you don't have to like it, i just thought it was really well done. I've finally started drawing again and its so much harder this time- i used to be able to do it without thinking about what to draw next and how to put it together but i guess when you've had a break you forget... Enjoy the picture , and have an awesome day. Keep smiling- Mads. x

I don't really need to say much about it, because it all mean different things to different people.

We all NEED it, we all WANT it and we should all GIVE it,

friendship,

relationship whatever it is share the love, im in a pretty good mood today so i felt like telling you all.

peace,
Mads x

P.s: i plan to write something really really good soon, because i haven't written something not mushy and substantial for such a long time. but i will Wednesday probably.

Its my birthday soon and I'm about to spend a night with my close friends and family performing the can can for the public and i couldn't be happier.
Life's treating me pretty freaking well, and schools just finished.
This birthday Ive decided to thank my mum, its not just MY birthday but its the day that mum had me and its special to her too. so that's my plan for the big day :)
I hope your all well, i loved the cute little vintage picture above. have a good day/night- spread the love.

Peace Mads. x

i dont have much to say tonight,

im so tired, i think it should be illegal to be this tired and still awake. haha

Have a geat day tomorrow everyone,

your mission is to make someone that you dont usually talk to smile,

its not to get something back, its not for personal gain but it will make their day.

peace.

Mads. x

17days later! omg I'm taking my time so i better make this good.

Dedicated to Lill, : )

The other day at school i was walking down past " the corner"

( you know what i mean Eden folk) and i found this little thing with two elephants on it. One of the elephants has its trunk up and one down.

I took this as some kind of sign and blue tacked it to the corner of my computer screen.
When an elephant has its trunk up its good luck, but when its trunks down its bad luck hence the "balance" this charm represents.

Ever since finding this charm things have been pretty good, apart from the occasional freak outs life has been pretty good. You just have to remember the balance.
Have you ever noticed that when things are going really really good in life something not so good happens?
And when you don't feel like things could get any worse for you, something happens that makes your day?
Slightly philosophical i know but the ying and yang symbol wasn't invented for nothing!

Life is meant to have a balance it's what keeps you sane. Its what makes the good stuff good and the bad stuff bad.

It's what makes the good stuff even better when something horrible happens.

So have a think about that, when you feel like the world is throwing one bad thing at you after another you're obviously not appreciating that good stuff in your life enough!

Lots of Love

Today i have something a little more interesting to talk about than mandarin's,

but not by much ha ha.

Hope everyones having an awesome weekend despite the weather, i encourage all to keep smiling.

I was watching SBS the other night and a section came on about colour in the world, scientists believe that the world may be black and white and our eyes pick up the radiation and we see, this has not been exactly proven but there is plenty of evidence...
can you imagine that, a world of black and white,

all the beauty you'd miss out on, sunrise, sunset, a good red lipstick .

So, my point is, enjoy the colour around you be it the blue of the sky on a sunny day or the grey mist on a rainy day.

Hugs

Maddi x

Have a migrane but feel fine haha

i just cant see anything and you know what caused it, and it sucks because i love them!

MANDARINE'S! suckss hey lol

oh well, dance was good, talk tomorrow

have a good night everyone ciao xx

Unsure what i should actually to write about today, i just thought id have a beautiful picture of the sky, us on the South Coast are missing out on.
Its icy and cold but hey, who cares!
Im curling up on the couch with a cup of tea watching bold and the beautiful ( as you do)
you should do the same!
Ciao xo

For Courtney Laura:

To inspire through image.

- Day with the girls Thursday cant wait : )

Keeping with the tradition of today RAIN. heres one positive thing that comes from it:

put your gumboots on and jump in the puddles... when was the last time you did that?!

LO
VE

(night out with the girls tonight :D)

Two completely random things i found today... thought id do a bit of show and tell :P

enjoy.x.

Diamonds, yeah they're nice and shiny and are worth heaps and heaps of money but there has got to be better things in life than having an expensive ring. This post isn't just about diamonds but I've just been thinking about materialistic views of society today.
This afternoon during a 3 hour dance class i felt free, and i knew that the feeling was not something that you could buy, things like a really good laugh, the kind that make you cry. Where your jaw hurts so badly because you cant stop laughing. A good cup of tea, doesn't cost hundreds of dollars does it? yet we still allow ourselves to become consumed with such items as diamonds- that when you think about it are just: Rocks.
If you get the chance one day, when the sun is setting- skip.
Skip down the road hand in hand with your smile on your face and laugh, laugh like you never have before.
Goodnight all- keep reading as Mrs.Clarke always enforces with a firm grip.

In two tiny dark and somewhat mysterious "vintage wares" shops in Windsor, England mum and I decided to buy some old fashion keys.
They are amazing in that there were thousands of rusty keys similar to the one above and you'll never know who's key it is, and more so what it opened.... how intriguing.
have a think about it next time you find a key.
ciao xx

http://www.1luckybride.com/ (this picture isnt from that site, but just as beautiful!)

Whilst searching for deb dresses, i now have a sudden obsession with wedding gowns and by the age of 52 i aim to own a wedding dress shop lol

have a look at the link, some of the dresses are stunning!!!

An ode to amy winehouse,

many people dont know her without the tottoos, beehive hair, missing teeth and druged up look, but if you hear her early work the album "Frank" - 2003 is amazingly constructed and has realy meaning, and quite frankly pardon the pun i think more people should give her a break and find out more about her before some of the bad choices she has made...

keep smiling everyone

much love

madi xx

No, its not Katy Perry it's the beautiful actress Zooey Deschanel.
Shes in "Yes man and "Bridge to Terrabithia" and many more films.
I just think shes really natural and seems to have a certain warmth about her.
Peace, Madison.

winnie the poo

Theres always been to me, something so enchanting about Winnie the poo and his tales.

My Nana and i go onto this little bridge near her House in templestowe and find a twig each and drop it into the river below and race to the other side to see who's stick was the fastest. This is what poo and his friends call "poo sticks" it may sound gross to the young and immature but as you can see in the image above its a great bonding game. I love the unique and original drawings, i actually own the original book which i plan on looking over after my hectic week of exams.

peace everyone,

maybe you could go back and read something from your childhood?

xx

Does anyone else think that cupcakes are just the cutest?

inspiration to be a cupcake chef... and if there isnt such an occupation there is now! x

ciao.

I'm not sure if im feeling particularly " inspired" today, its a bit gloomy outside but yet its about to get a whole lot better, i have dance tonight and i cant wait.

Heres a picture of Darcy Bussell an amazing ballerina.

Keep smiling everyone,

A bit of advice... put some music on and go crazy.

Peace, Madi. x

Underwater

Searching the underwater photography section on photo bucket, i came across these unique images. The photographer is Elena Kalis and i think the concept is amazing. With the girls flowing red hair unusual props makes for some beautiful shots. I loved the quirky theme too!

please please PLEASE go to: http://photo.net/photos/kalis the photos are soooo good!!!

Enjoy. x

Mothers day

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY,

I've taken a liking to these comic vintage "things"

To all the amazing, hard working, loving mothers out there have a fantastic day!

p.s don't you think its time to say thanks to Your mum? x

amazing women

Although so far all my pictures have been in black and white i thought Drew Barrymore could only be shown in full colour.

Growing up in a life of smoking, rehab and alcohol abuse her youth was not exactly "easy"

and since she has become absolutely stunning and beautiful both inside and out. Acting in a multitude of movies and television shows she has inspired many, and so has become one of my idols.

thanks Drew. x

Marilyn Munroe, (formally known as :Norma Jeane Baker)

Beautiful and curvy. She aided women all over the globe in taking pride in their natural figure.

Along with that famous shot of her holding her dress down, her short blonde hair and red lipstick she was an amazing woman.

Sadly Marilyn passed away at the age of 36.

peace x

Audrey Hepburn....
need i say more?
Iwill though haha. Audrey was a ballerina, and an actress my favourites (My fair lady- 1964)

and (Breakfast a Tiffany's-1961) After many years she worked as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador, she has worked for disadvantaged communites in Africa, South America and Asia.

Its a sunny (yet windy) day in Autumn, and i'm about to make some tea and breakfast.

First i thought id just put this out there. Last night on SBS i watched a documentary about the french beauty Brigitte Bardot and her amazing efforts to ban animal cruelty. She supports many causes and travells world wide to save baby seals and owns a animal shelter which aims to protect dogs cats and horses. I thought it necessary to commend her huge efforts. x

Bye for now.

Dance

First blog. I chose a beautiful night to begin, so here goes.
Dance, for me is what gets me through everything.
And this youthful image captures the carlessness we all wish we still possessed. I've spent 8hours this week dancing to the beats and underneath all the fun, enjoying the overall experience of releasing the build up of school. Some of us and the others who "chose" to do extension enlgish would agree its an occassional burden on our weekends which we would other wise fill with... well who knows but studying the "economic problem" wouldnt exactly be on my to-do list. Any how z's call along with dreams of better things :)
ciao. x
